I’m really a newbie in coding and this tribute page is my first web page ever. It is devoted to Russian (Soviet) writer Sergei Dovlatov who emigrated to the USA at the end of 1970-s. I enjoy his writing style very much and I have read almost all of his novels and stories.
Any critique and suggestions will be very helpful to me.

Recommended length is between 8 and 12 words per line, you should keep the text container narrower
